Training on your walks #FTW
My students often wonder how much and when to train. I usually share my super tip: training on your walks! Occasionally, I’ll do short training sessions indoors, train with friends for a few hours, attend a seminar or join a hunt for a full day. Although we work...Getting to know Keen
